If the Muppets Made a Saguaro

A saguaro I call The Muppet blooms at sunrise on the Latigo Trail in McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona on May 27, 2023. Original: _RAC6272.ARW

I had four days off for Memorial Day and was able to get up before sunrise on three of them, taking a short photography hike before a quick trip back home to pick up Bear and bring him along for a longer hike. Only possible because the trailheads are so close by, one of the main reasons I wanted to settle in this part of the city. I call this saguaro “The Muppet” as its center arm has a face that reminds me of something I might have seen on Sesame Street while growing up, though this muppet lives on the Latigo Trail. Taken as the light first cleared the mountains.
